If you are a beauty blogger or makeup enthusiast, you and I know that the amount of beauty products we own will probably last us a lifetime. No kidding, I de-stash mine every few months, give mostly to my equally vain mom or niece, sometimes I exchange unused or partially used to my fellow bloggers, other times I donate, other times they go straight to trash.
So when my fellow vlogger and ex-colleague from corporate pharma hundreds of moons ago, Joel from The Skin Care Addict, reached out if I can help spread the word regarding a skincare and cosmetic drive to support the beauty scholars from the Philippines via the Baclaran church, I enthusiastically agreed (by the way, he produced and directed the video below). I know I have readers and subscribers in the Philippines who can likewise help, either by word of mouth or donation or by simply re-sharing this post. Please watch the video (closed caption in English for international audience) to learn more about this wonderful cause. I am truly touched with the life story of one of the beauty trainers named Mylene.

What a great job the Academy is doing! I usually donate locally as well (after the women in my family go through my spares).
ReplyDeleteI donate unopened products when I can. I love to see places like this that are there to help those in need.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great initiative! I mostly give away my gently used and unused products to friends and family, and toss heavily used products for sanitary reasons. I used to donate to a local women's shelter, but they recently stopped accepting gently used products and anything not wrapped in the original plastic foil. All skincare must be brand new with a foil seal. They won't even take brand new products that normally come without one.
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that you're getting the word out about this initiative in the Philippines. What a help to change women's lives.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I donate unopened items to our local women's shelter. They really appreciate personal care items.
ReplyDeleteAmazing intiative! I give away a lot of used products to friends but also do a big donation once to twice a year to the women's and teens shelters.
ReplyDeleteI donate to the women's shelter. I never know what to do with lightly tested stuff tho. We moved away from everyone we know/
